Mr. Rankin subsequently taught in Amity, N. Y., after which he removed to Morris County. His later efforts were at Mendham, in that county, where the school he established enjoyed a prosperity fully equal to that of former years.

MOUNT RETIREMENT SEMINARY.

The school familiarly known as Mount Retirement Seminary was established by Edward A. Stiles, whose parents removed from Morris County to Vernon when he was but two years of age. During 1819 they located upon a farm in Wantage, on which their son spent the greater portion of his life as principal of the seminary above named. This school arose from the humblest beginnings. In 1833 half a dozen boys were instructed in a room of the farmhouse, and made such decided progress as to have very soon established the character of Mr. Stiles as a successful teacher. The school soon increased to a size and reputation far beyond his early hopes. For many years it en- joyed an average patronage of seventy-five pupils, and the enterprise was in full vigor when its control was relinquished, in 1865. The graduates of this seminary are to be found in every part of the coun-

try, many of them having filled high and responsible public positions.

The education of Mr. Stiles was thoroughly prac- tical in its system, and marked by a considerate kind- ness that made every pupil his friend. In 1869 he was appointed superintendent of the schools of the county, which position was filled by him with marked ability .*

HARTWELL'S SCHOOL.

The post-oflice address of Hartwell's School is Unionville, Orange Co., N. Y., from which it is dis- tant one mile, but it is on the New Jersey side of the boundary line between the States, which is also the boundary line of the school premises. It was estab- lished in 1867 at Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y., by S S. Hartwell, the present principal and proprietor, and was removed to its present location two years later.

This school owes its origin to the discontinuance of Mount Retirement Seminary, with which Mr. Hart- well, son-in-law of its founder, Mr. E. A. Stiles, had been for several years connected.

The design was to establish a smaller school than that excellent institution had been, and one to be conducted more upon the plan of a well-regulated family than is possible with a large number of pupils, thus offering the advantages of a thorough prepara- tory school without some of the objections which parents, desiring to send their sons away, sometimes make to large schools; but, as in the case of that seminary, a retired situation, free from the interrup- tions and dangers of a town, and eminent for its healthfulness and for the general attractiveness of the surrounding country, was chosen.

It has always been well patronized, drawing its pupils from the near-by counties, from New York City and vicinity, and not infrequently from distant parts of the country, occasionally also from foreign coun- tries. Several young men have been prepared here for Yale and other colleges.

The school territory of the township is divided into eighteen districts, over whom the following teachers preside :

Dunn Vale, No. 82, Charles J. Cooper ; Dunnings, No. 83, Miss MI. ... MeMickle : Wulf P'it, No. 84, Miss Maria Dequo ; Mount Salem, No. 85, Miss Sarah E. Reid ; Jacksonville, No. 86, M. D. Coykendall ; Coleville, No. 87, - w; Cluvo, No. 88, T. L. Strong ; Roson- krans, No. 50, Miss Alice Shorter ; Libertyville, No. 91, Grant J. Roo; Deckertown, No. 92, HI. A. Hulsted (principul), Miss Charlolto E. Howell, Miss Auna M. Hanlen ; C'entral, No. 93, Charles Armstrong : Van Stekles, No. 94, William II. Boemer; Woodbourne, No. 95, Carrie E. Hough ; Lowisburg, No. 96, C. H. Thurbor ; Pond, No. 97, Jumnes MeCue; Booming Grove, No. 98, Miss Anna McCoy; Union, No. 99, F. T. Smith ; Reemnerville, No. 100, D. A. Rou.

The total amount received by Wantage township, from all sources, for the support of the above-named eighteen schools, during the school year ending Aug. 31, 1879, was $5344.85,-which may be taken as a fair average of other recent years. The estimated value of school property in the township is given at $14,650.

V .- ORGANIZATION.

The township of Wantage was erected as an inde- pendent township in May, 1754. It originally ex- tended to the Delaware River, and included the north- west corner of the State, now embraced in the town- ship of Montague.

VIL .- VILLAGES. DECKERTOWN.

This enterprising village - the principal business centre of a territory many miles in extent-is situ-

ated 15 miles northeast of the county-seat. The Mid- land Railroad passes within its limits, and since its construction has aided greatly in the development of the place.

The settlement of the village recalls a period as early as 1740, and possibly earlier, though no authen- tic facts prior to that date are obtainable. In the latter part of the seventeenth century a band of French Protestants who had, on account of their re- ligious faith, suffered exile and chosen a refuge among the hospitable Hollanders, emigrated to America. They explored the Hudson River, and chose a settle- ment at the mouth of the Wallkill, where they founded a small colony near the present site of King- ston. Years later some of the emigrants who formed this colony, which had since been increased in num- bers by fresh arrivals from Holland, explored the Mamakating valley to the Delaware River, and formed a settlement at the mouth of the Neversink.

One of their number, by descent a Hollander, whose name was Peter Decker, passed over the BIne Moun- tain range on a pilgrimage in search of fertile land upon which to settle, having determined to leave the Neversink colony and form the nucleus of an inde- pendent colony. He descended into the valley now the township of Wantage, and, selecting an eligible site, built a log house where the village now stands. This log structure is described by an early resident and descendant of Peter Decker as located on ground formerly the garden of Dr. Vibbert's hotel, and which occupied the site of the present Dickerson Block. The log house was later occupied by Samuel Decker, a son of the first settler, and still later by another son. It has long since been demolished.

The hamlet made but tardy progress for a series of years, and little is known of its history. A grandson of Peter Decker, Samuel by name, early during the present century built a log tavern near the present location of Andrew Quick's blacksmith-shop, and of which the present Warner House is the offspring. Peter Decker later built a tavern on the site now oc- cupied by the Dickerson Block. It was a frame build- ing, and was afterwards purchased by Soferein West- fall ; and Dr. Vibbert, a man of considerable enter- prise in his day, finally became owner, after which it was sold, but was consumed by fire the night previous to the purchaser's intended occupancy. Samuel Decker then built the present Warner House, which has since its erection been frequently remodeled and had many landlords.

James Sayre and Michael McMann were among the early merchants, though little is known of the prog- ress of business enterprise in the place. Gabriel Coy- kendall and John Miracle erected a store, tailor-shop, and dwelling, which was later converted into a public- house, and is the present Union Hotel.

Advantage was taken of the fine water-power which passed through the place, and mills were erected, the later of which are described.

The advent of the railroad brought both enterprise and capital to the place, which has since that time made such steady advancement as to rival its larger adjacent villages in commercial enterprise.

The Farmers' National Bank of Deckertown .- A charter for the organization of this bank was obtained in 1848, and the bank established Jan. 1, 1850, under the State banking system, the institution having then been known as the " Farmers' Bank of Wantage." Its first board of directors were James C. Havens, Samuel Whitaker, Levi Shepherd, John Loomis, Thomas D. Edsall, Levi Dunn, Charles A. Cooper, G. L. Dun- ning, John B. Decker, and Charles Roe. James C. Havens was chosen president and Thomas D. Arm- strong cashier. It was originally organized with a capital of $50,000.

In July, 1865, the bank embraced the national sys- tem, and increased its capital to $100,000, it having been previously raised from the original amount to $80,000.

Mr. Armstrong having resigned the cashiership, Mr. J. A. Whitaker succeeded to the position, which he filled until 1874, when the present cashier, J. F. Marjoram, was chosen as his successor. Mr. Havens resigned the presidency April 9, 1859, and Jonathan Whitaker was elected to the office, which again be- came vacant by his death, in 1873, since which time J. A. Whitaker has filled the office.

The present board of directors are Richard E. Ed- sall, John P. Brown, John B. Decker, Charles A. Wil- son, Marcus S. Hayle, J. A. Whitaker, T. F. Marjo- ram, Lewis J. Martin, N. H. Marjoram, John Loomis, Charles A. Cooper. But three of the original di- rectors are members of the present board.

Deckertown Mill .- The Deckertown Mill, which is now owned by I. E. Hornbeck, was originally built in 1844 by Dr. Vibbert. It is located in the village, upon the Clove Creek, and depends for its supply of water upon the Sand Pond, in the northwest portion of the township. It was at an early date purchased by Matthew Cooper, after which Mahlon Cooper be- came owner, and at a subsequent date Joshua Cole controlled it. It was purchased by the present owner in 1868, at sheriff's sale, and has since been controlled by him. It has during his ownership undergone a thorough renovation, having been equipped with a new water-wheel and other machinery, which changed it completely. It has now four run of stone, and, with an adequate supply of water, may be driven to a ca- pacity of 500 bushels per day. The average business is 30,000 bushels per year. The grain consumed in the mill is purchased in the immediate vicinity and in New York, and a market for the flour is found princi- pally at points along the Midland Railroad.

O. J. Little's Plow-Factory .- This establishment was first started by Odell & Little, who in 1866 erected the building for the manufacture of plows. It passed later into the hands of Odell & Coe, after which George W. Coe became sole proprietor. The firm

subsequently became Cox & Coe, when the latter sold his interest to (). J. Little, and the firm breame Cox & Little. Mr. Little is now sole owner. He is prin- cipally engaged in the manufacture of a patent plow, which is very popular in the county and known as the "Sussex Plow." A corn plow known as the " Wantage Plow" is also manufactured to a consider- able extent, as are plows of other patterns. The fac- tory is furnished with an engine ot ten-horse power, which enables it to do an extensive jobbing business. The market for these implements is found principally in Sussex County, Orange Co., N. Y., and Monroe Co., J'a.

Lafayette Fuller's Grist- Mill .- This mill, which is located in the suburbs of Deckertown, upon the Clove ('reek, was built by John L. Adams in 1822, and was at an early day the scene of much business enterprise. Mr. Adams also erected on the site a fulling-mill, carding-mill, and a elover-mill, all of which were ac- tively employed. The grist-mill was furnished with two run of stone, and had an average capacity of 100 bushels per day. Mr. Adams' death occurred in 1840, when the mill passed into the hands of John Loomis, who conducted it for some years, and ultimately made an exchange with Matthew H. Cooper for other prop- erty. He managed it for some years, and sold to Robert T. Shafer, who in turn sold to Coe Deeker, of whom it was purchased by the present owner. The capacity of the mill has not been greatly changed since its erection.

Woolen- Mill .- On the site of Wright's saw-mill, located upon the Clove Creek, and familiarly known as the Evans property, John Loomis, in 1850, erected a woolen-factory for the manufacture of eloths, yarns, satinets, ete. This mill was furnished with 12 looms, 300 spindles, and much valuable machinery. It was sold by Mr. Loomis to Thomas Tatum, and consumed by fire in 1858 while owned by him. The mill was never rebuilt, the site being now occupied as a saw- mill. James Evans at an early day erected a grist- mill upon the same location.

Pulaski Lodge, No. 103, I. O. of 0. F .- This lodge was organized Feb. 6, 1851, with the following charter members : Oliver G. Millspaugh, N. G .; Samuel T. Overhiser, V. G. ; James Evans, R. S .; E. MeComly Couse, A. S .; James Coe, Treas. The lodge for a period declined, but was resuscitated March 7, 1871.

The names of its Past Grands are George M. Coe, William S. Vanderhuff, Frederick L. Heater, Vincent H. Lane, David A. Eddy, William N. Meeker, Nelson W. Heater, David A. Benjamin, John D. Potter, James Lawrence, John P. Lautz, Moses Stern, Merrit C. Carpenter, Charles Suhr. The present elected officers are Nathaniel P. West- fall, N. G .; Oscar Hough, V. G .; Alanson S. Cole, Sec. ; William N. Meeker, Treas. Its present mem- bership is 66, its place of meeting Deckertown, and time of convocation every Thursday night.

Samaritan Lodge, No. 98, Free and Heeepted Masons.

-This lodge was organized under a warrant granted by the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, in January, 1869. The charter members were Simeon M. Stoddard, Thomas A. Rogers, Thomas Gray, Charles A. Wilson, Thomas Armstrong, John W. Vought, Carlos M. Noble, George W. Rhodes. The lodge was consti- tuted and formally opened Feb. 19, 1869, by Robert Rusling, Deputy Grand Master of New Jersey, as- sisted by other grand officers, after which Rev. Charles Coit delivered an address. The Masters of the lodge since its organization to the present time have been as follows :

1869, Themus A. Rogers; 1870-73, Simeon M. Stoddard ; 1>74, George W. Rhodes; 1875, Jumes 11. Dunning; 1876-77, Albert C. Noble; 1878- 79, Joseph W. Elston; 1880->1, Lowis J. Martin.

The officers for 1881 are Lewis J. Martin, W. M .; J. Emerson Decker, S. W .; Thomas B. Gould, J. W.

The Deckertown I'nion Cemetery _1xxociation .- This association was incorporated April 8, 1872, it- first officers having been : President, Samuel Dennis; Secre- tary and Treasurer, Lewis J. Martin ; Trustees, James Cox, Van Rensselaer Adams, Jonathan Whitaker, George W. Coe, Samuel Dennis, James W. McCoy, Jacob Wilson, Jacob V. Little, Lewis J. Martin, Jacob Martin, William S. McCoy, Hosea J. ITarden. Its present officers are: President, Evi .A. Wilson ; Secretary, Lewis J. Martin ; Treasurer, Asa Havens; Trustees, Lewis J. Martin, James F. Martin, Owen J. Little, Hosea J. Harden, Jacob V. Little, James 1. Dennis, George Shepherd, Nelson W. Heater, Evi A. Wilson, James Cox, Asa Havens, James Shelly. The annual election is held on the last Saturday in April of each year. The beautiful grounds of this associ- ation are located in the outskirts of Deckertown.

The Press of Deekertown .- The Sussex County Inde- pendent, published at Deckertown, N. J., was estab- lished by Stephen HI. Sayre, of Orange Co., N. Y., in 1870, the first number of the paper having been issued on May 4th of that year. After the expiration of one year, Mr. Sayre associated with him in the proprietorship of the paper Stephen H. Moore, who retired a few months later. On April 1, 1872, Wil- liam II. Noble, of Elmira, N. Y., was admitted to partnership with Mr. Sayre, and the paper was pub- lished by Sayre & Noble until 1875, when it passed to the control of a stock company, under the cor- porate name of "The Independent Printing Com- pany." On Dee. 1, 1877, Jacob L. Swayze, president of the Merchants' National Bank of Newton, pur- chased the capital stock of the company, and retained possession of the paper until Oct. 1, 1878, when it was purchased by the present editors and proprietors, Messrs. Whitfield Gibbs and John J. Stanton. Dur- ing the period that it was owned by Mr. Swayze the columns were under the editorial management of II. A. Van Fredenberg, present editor of the Port Jerris Daily Union.

During the early management of the paper it was, while professedly "independent" in politics, in re-

ality a staunch and earnest supporter of Democratic principles and candidates. In 1876 a new departure was indulged in, and an open attack made upon the regular Democratic organization of Sussex County, which was alike energetic and ably sustained. The paper at this time supported "independent Demo- crats" for the offices of State senator and Assembly, as against the regular nominees of the party. The warfare against the controlling Democratic influence of the county has been earnestly taken up and car- ried through by the present editors of the paper, and its influence has been felt in the politics of the county.

In 1880 an indictment for malicious libel was found by the Sussex grand jury against the editors and against Jacob L. Swayze, an able contributor. To this indictment a "plea in abatement" was entered, challenging, in effect, the entire panel of jurors be- cause of hatred and prejudice against the defendants, and the sheriff, on similar grounds, for empaneling the jury. This was an unexpected and unusual pro- ceeding, occurring for the third time only in the entire criminal practice of the United States, and its discussion throughout the country was very general. The prosecution demnrred to the proceedings, chal- lenging thereby the legality of the method of defense adopted.

Since the paper came into the hands of its present editors and proprietors its cirenlation has greatly in- creased. It enjoys the support of a number of the ablest contributors of Northern New Jersey, and pre- sents a neat typographical appearance. Messrs. Gibbs & Stanton are both practical printers, gradnated from the " case" of leading journals, and are gentlemen who enjoy the respect, confidence, and esteem of their friends and neighbors.

BEEMERVILLE.

This point was first settled by the Beemer family, the earliest representative of whom was Henry Beemer, who secured a large tract of land in the vicinity, and some years later removed to Canada. His son Henry next came into possession of the property, upon which he lived until bis death, in his one hundred and eighth year. The third Henry Beemer occupied the ances- tral estate, which embraced the present hamlet, and died in his eighty-fourth year. His widow, who is eighty-one years of age. is still residing upon the prop- erty, now in possession of Gabriel L. Beemer, her son, who is a merchant.

A log church was erected here at a very early date, on ground above the village. It was used by various denominations, having been built as a union church. Among the earliest preachers, Rev. Mr. Overton is remembered as having filled the pulpit. The build- ing in 1822 gave way to a more pretentious frame edifice, which for years did service at this point, and was ultimately removed to Branch ville.

Opposite the site of the Beemer residence a school- house was built, which was superseded by one erected

on ground located opposite the stone church. The third was located upon the hill near the cemetery, and the fourth about midway between the former two.

The earliest building for mercantile purposes was erected at what is known as Lower Beemerville, in which Joshua Austin opened a store adapted to the country trade. He was succeeded by one Welland, after which Samuel Whitaker and Nathaniel Loomis were proprietors. David Gale opened a store at Been- erville in 1830, and he was succeeded by Gabriel Swayze. Another building was erected, in which a mercantile business was conducted by James Lane, and which is still standing and occupied by O. C. Hockenberry. In 1860, Gabriel L. Beemer erected the store at present occupied by him, and he is still a merchant at this place.

A log tavern was opened at a very carly day by William Crigar. Henry Beemer (the second) was also an early landlord, and extended hospitality to the traveling public until his death, when his son Henry succeeded to the business. The building has since been converted into a dwelling. Another tavern was built at an early period, burned and rebuilt, and is now owned by William T. Harrison.

There are now in Beemerville one hotel, two stores, -kept by Gabriel L. Beemer and O. C. Hockenberry, -two blacksmith-shops, three blacksmith- and wheel- wright-shops,-conducted by Isaac Dolsen, Andrew Adrian, and Westfall Brothers,-and a mill owned by Mrs. Nancy Compton, which is run by water- power and equipped with two rnn of stone.

Henry Beemer succeeded in having the place made a postal station, and was commissioned as the first postmaster. The mail was distributed at his tavern at as early a date as 1820, and twenty-five years later Horace I. Beemer received the appointment. Gabriel L. Beemer is the present official.

LIBERTYVILLE.

This spot was first settled by Jacob Beemer, who came during the latter part of the last century and purchased a large tract of land. Joseph Cole was also an early resident, and owned a farm in the neigh- borhood. Silas Heminway, about 1835, opened a store just below the site of the present mercantile emporium, which he conducted until it was later con- verted into a hotel. John Ayres also built a store, which is now owned by Ezra Overton. There are also a blacksmith- and wagon-shop, a school-house, and a church.

The old Paterson stage-route passed through the place and brought much business to the tavern.

In 1830 a post-office was established, with Jacob Beemer as postmaster, the mail having been brought by the four-horse stage that passed over the road on its regular trips. In 1846, Martin Holmes was com- missioned as postmaster, and Ezra Overton now holds the position.
